This is so hilariously wrong that I am curious how many parents may take their children to see Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass after something like Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Well mommy and daddy probably will not if they see this highly amusing Red-Band teaser for the film that proves that Quentin Tarantino isn’t the only director who can re-purpose Japanese school-girls and severed limbs into something distinctly Western-Hemisphere. If the film was to live up to the promise of this teaser, I’d say that someone made Timur Bekmambetov’s Wanted for the pre-teen set. Anyone want to see Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) actually attempt the Battle Royale remake?
Trailer *Language definitely NSFW* is tucked under the seat.
Of coure i can only speak to the comics. But so far Kick-Ass is a much more fun and far less pretentious super hero book than Wanted.
I’m not sure if you realized this when comparing them but they’re both from writer Mark Millar.
Yeaaaah, Battle Royale remake… Good luck with that.
Oh, and “Percy” Jackson… haha I just got that.
I’m sold!
I was pretty much officially enticed when the first trailer hit, but this just ratcheted my excitement up a few more notches. This should be very awesome.
Also: The Redemption of Nicholas Cage, Part II, anyone?
